where we have not won the battles are when legislators are elected. it's kind of the bait and switch. they don't run on this issue. they run on jobs or the economy. and then once they get there, we see this war on women. and we see that their whole intent is to deny women this care and letting women, their doctors, their families make the decision. it is unbelievable that we have so many anti-choice legislators. and i think what the american public has to do do is when they show up at your door, ask them. do they protect freedom and privacy in letting women make the decision, or do they want politicians to make it? and that's the million dollar question. who gets to decide? politician or women and her family. >> we've talked a number of time, you and i, nancy, on this show about overall strategy, about the connection of this, the issue politics of this as an issue and how it relates to electoral politics between the two parties. i know you are stepping down from naral very soon. your successor has already been named. what would you tell the movement t
